Ticket to Ride

Based on the board game of the same name and published by the same company.

In this game, players compete over a map of the United States, Europe or Switzerland in order to construct railways (there are thus three ways to play the game, the map of Switzerland being exclusive to the PC version). The aim is to create routes linking some cities randomly assigned to you.

Each turn, a player does one of the three following actions : 1) draw new "tickets", that is, cards assigning you new secret objectives, usually consisting of a pair of distant cities you have to connect 2) draw cards which, in combination, will later allow you to construct railroad linking adjacent cities. It's by serially connecting those adjacent cities that you'll eventually connect the distant cities of your objectives 3) play those cards and link adjacent cities.

One of the "tricks" is that each link can only be owned (and used) by one payer, so it is possible to guess an opponent's secret objective and block him.
